In the late 80s and early 90s writer Les Wiseman and I were dispatched by Vancouver Magazine to attend the yearly Whistler festival that featured Hollywood celebrities. The main reason we went to them is that Wiseman had the hots for Brooke Shields and she was constantly supposed to attend. She never did.
It was in the early 90s that both Wiseman and I had
contracts with TV- Guide. Wiseman was assigned to write on Canadian actor Bruce
Greenwood and told me that I should tell the folks at TV Guide that I had
pictures of him. The art director at the magazine told me that they were not
interested in any images that I had as they wanted photographs that were taken
by American photographers in LA. I sent my pictures anyway.

City in 1968.
When the actor playing Defense Secretary Robert McNamara
appeared I was instantly alerted to a nagging suspicion. This was confirmed at
the end in the closing credits.
